The meeting was held in June 2016 while two other important members of Trump campaign took part in it; Jared Kushner, the president’s senior advisor and son-in-law and Paul Manafort, Trump’s campaign chairman.

It was last Sunday that a report in New York Times revitalized the controversies over the Russia probe. While the disputes over the meeting between Trump and Putin was still fresh in media, the report about another curious meeting 13 months earlier between Trump’s son and a Russian lawyer fired up the disputes.

Both Republican and Democrat members of Senate expressed concerns over the reasons behind the meeting and asked for investigations into it. Susan Collins, the Republican Senator from Maine asked Senate Intelligence Committee, in which she is a member, to question the attendants of the meeting. “Our intelligence committee needs to interview him and others who attended the meeting,” wrote The Hill quoting from Ms. Collins.

Donald Trump, Jr. responded Ms. Collins in a series of tweets welcoming questioned by the committee. He added that he has much on the issue to say.

Trump Jr. also issued a statement in which he explained that the meeting was to obtain the potential information on the relationship between Hillary Clinton and “individuals connected to Russia.” He continued to say it was all in vain:

Her statements were vague, ambiguous and made no sense. No details or supporting information was provided or even offered. It quickly became clear that she had no meaningful information. Senators Mark Warner and Adam Schiff also asked for investigations into the case. Mr. Warner said he could not “imagine taking a meeting with a foreign lawyer claiming to have dirt on an opponent.”

Both Kremlin spokesman and White House Principal Deputy Press Secretary dismissed the allegations saying the meeting was an ordinary one. The former said the government finds no necessity to track all meetings and the latter called it a “short meeting” not even learnt by President Trump then.
